Well, honey, you're gonna need 20 short isosceles triangles to build that fabulous Icosahedron. Each face of the Icosahedron is made up of an isosceles triangle, and there are 20 faces in total. So, do the math and get building, darling!

According to some definitions an icosahedron is considered a Platonic solid so that each of its faces is an equilateral triangle. You would, therefore need three coplanar isosceles triangles to make each face of the icosahedron. Since there are 20 faces in an icosahedron, you would need 60 such triangles.

How do you build a pyramid from popsicle sticks?

You need to take some Popsicle sticks and glue them to the size of you're square. Then make 4 triangles. Cut some of the sticks down if needed. When the shapes dry, take 1 triangle and glue it vertically on to 1 side of the square. When you glue the triangles, slant them in so they connect in the middle.
